Welcome to my practice! My approach to therapy is relational, culturally aware, and grounded in deep respect for each client’s unique story. I want to hear YOUR story and help you find your "a-ha!" moment. My therapy style is to integrate psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and humanistic principles to support a deeper understanding of the self and the inner systems that influence thoughts and emotions. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing journey, develop self-compassion, and create lasting change.

I aim to meet the individualized needs of each person, couple, and family I work with and take a collaborative approach in setting goals for therapy. I use a family systems approach to explore how multiple areas of a person's life impacts their experiences and current struggles. I work on achieving these goals through a variety of measures, including personal exploration, role play and exercises used in and outside of session, implementation of improved communication skills, and boundary setting. My work with individuals, as well as couples and families focuses on relationships of all kinds. I address parenting issues, social skills, family conflict, and transitions including entrance into college and the workforce. I have experience working with substance abuse and mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds, with a focus on couples, families, adolescents, and young adults. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Michigan. I am able to hold in person and telehealth appointments. Feel free to call or email me with any questions or to set up an appointment!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're carrying invisible weight no one else can see? Whether you're juggling classes, navigating relationships, questioning your identity, or dealing with family or cultural pressure, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Tsuki, and I specialize in working with students who often feel like they don’t quite “fit the mold.” Many of the students I support are BIPOC, neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD), and LGBTQIA+, and they're trying to make sense of who they are while moving through complex systems that weren’t built with them in mind. In therapy, your whole self is welcome — even the parts that feel messy or misunderstood. I offer online therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese and bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to our work together. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and always grounded in respect for who you are and what you need. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, identity questions, or just feeling stuck — I’m here to help.

With 29 years of experience, helping others is not just my job; it is my nature. Life can be stressful at times, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and lost in your own thoughts. In my practice, you will find a warm and empathetic environment so you may share your feelings and your story. I offer coping skills, ways to understand your emotions, and help you find real solutions to daily problems. These tools can help to restore a sense of calm in your life and guide you in finding your way back to yourself. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self worth and confidence, relationships and dating, family of origin challenges, and work stress. We all need a little support and guidance at times.

I specialize in working with college students, young adults, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, academic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, and life transitions. I have experience providing services in College Counseling and Psychological Services settings, where I’ve supported students through personal, relational, and academic challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I use EMDR along with other evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support holistic healing and emotional well-being. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

I work well with many clients, but the following clients would get the most out of scheduling an appointment. A client who is trying to navigate through some significant life changes/stressors and who is clear that things need to change in their lives, but is not sure where to start. A client who needs guidance to steer themselves towards their life goals. I believe that there is seldom a "right way" to achieve a certain outcome, and treatment needs to be tailored to a client's needs. I can offer more structured approaches, such as CBT, or less structured approaches, such as existential therapy.

Hi, I’m Amber Lane, LCSW. I’m a mental health therapist specializing in supporting Gen Z and millennial women. With 15 years of experience in social work, I have dedicated my career to helping young women navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. I work with college students who are managing: Anxiety & social anxiety Life transitions & academic stress Relationship and family challenges Unhealed trauma Many of my student clients have found therapy with me to be a safe, supportive space where they can heal, grow, and develop healthier habits—both mentally and physically. I currently offer in-person and tele-health sessions and accept most insurances.

I have spent most of my life surrounded by people who are uncomfortable with or unwilling to discuss their bodies and sexual desires. This has always felt like an injustice as having a someone that you feel comfortable discussing sex with can be a very healing and enlightening experience. Our bodies and sex are inherent parts of self and I believe that your relationship to and understanding of your body is one of your core forms of knowing yourself. To understand your desires, or lack thereof, is to better understand yourself as a whole. I enjoy working with people who wish to understand themselves better on a sexual level. If you are someone who is working to unpack purity culture, working to reclaim your body after a sexual assault, working through discrepancies in sex drives with your partner, working to have an organism, or you are exploring kink I would love to be the person who provides you with a comfortable and safe space to do so. Another one of my passions is exploring the relationship between ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence with your ability to experience both sexual desire and sexual gratification as it is largely under-discussed and deeply important. I would love to work with you as you figure out what that relationship looks like for you, and how desire and sex function with your specific wants and needs. The more you learn about and understand your relationship with desire, the more comfortable and confident you can feel in and out of the bedroom. Gaining the confidence to own what you want, or even understand why you want it, will help you gain a sense of freedom. You deserve to feel confident in your relationship with your bodily autonomy. I cannot wait to work with you as you empower yourself in your body, in your sex life, and your life as a whole.
